“1000 pre-orders on an unseen product!!” Girls Get Off co-Founder Viv Conway Shares Launch Strategy (Part 1)

Struggling with your confidence? Amira Sajwani, the Dubai property leader and Shark Tank investor, gets into everything: why you hold yourself to a higher standard than the men around you, how to invest in property from as little as $135, and the 30-second test she gives every founder. She didn't hold back. Amira is Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, which booked a record AED 36 billion (about $9.8 billion) in sales in 2025. She's the Founder of PRYPCO, which facilitates more than 1 billion dirhams (over $250 million) of property financing every month, co-founder of the ultra-luxury developer Amali Properties, a shark on Shark Tank Dubai and one of Forbes Middle East's Top 100 CEOs of 2026. She was giving speeches at her father's property launches at age 10, and has valuable insights to share with women who are building, or want to. In this episode, she explains: ■ The confidence gap: men discount their mistakes, while women, even overachieving mums running companies, feel guilty and question themselves. Her fix: rephrase "I messed up" to "it was a mistake" before the world does. ■ Property from as little as $135: how PRYPCO lets you invest in UAE real estate from 500 dirhams, and who is actually buying: 60+ nationalities, aged 22 to 75. ■ The 30-second founder test: on Shark Tank she decides in the first 30 seconds whether she believes in the founder, then looks at the business, then the market size. ■ Her 3-factor investing filter: founder, business, market. Revenue, growth and valuation only come after. ■ The next wave of AI businesses: "services as a software", meaning companies using AI to 10x their growth without adding people, and why she's watching AI move into robotics. ■ The golden spoon question: growing up in the DAMAC family, why the assumptions don't bother her, and how she blocks out the noise. This episode is in partnership with the World Economic Forum at the Annual Meeting of Global Future Leaders 2026, in the Davos on Air Studio. 🔗 LINKS → Amira Sajwani on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amirasajwani → PRYPCO: https://prypco.com → DAMAC Properties: https://www.damacproperties.com → Amali Properties: https://www.amaliproperties.com 📱 MORE FROM DOONE → Access money opportunities you won’t find anywhere else on the internet: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=amira_sajwani → Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dooneroisin

What if the health advice you're following wasn't actually studied on women... and the protocols everyone's recommending might not work for your body at all? This is a conversation about personalized health, why women need different protocols than men, and the future of precision medicine that actually tracks what your body needs in real time. We're diving into why clinical trials need to study more women, how your hormone levels should dictate your supplementation, and why the one size fits all approach to health is fundamentally broken. We're exploring the cold plunge debate (and why timing matters more than you think), the Finnish sauna study that showed longevity benefits, and why red light therapy might actually be worth the investment if you buy the right device. Here's what we're diving into: Why clinical trials need to study more women (and why N equals 1 isn't enough to understand what works) How ethnicity, biology, childhood, and diet all influence what your body actually needs Why women have different requirements at different life phases (pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond) The supplements women actually need: iron, magnesium, vitamin D (and why they're different from men's needs) Why maintaining muscle mass and bone mineral density is critical for metabolic health (and preventing diabetes and cardiovascular disease) The hormone innovation we need: a patch that tracks your estradiol and progesterone day to day and releases the exact dose you need in real time The cold plunge truth: why you should wait a couple hours after strength training (because it reverses muscle hypertrophy) Why women's body temperatures run higher and cold plunges below 10 degrees might not be ideal for long term muscle preservation The Finnish sauna study: 4 to 7 times a week, 20 minutes at 80 degrees for cardiovascular benefits and lower mortality rates Red light therapy: what the studies actually show (collagen production, scar reduction, dermatological benefits) and why you need a credible device like Omnilux Why yoga can be just as effective as SSRIs for PTSD (but nobody funds the trials because you can't sell yoga) The money problem: why pharmaceutical companies fund drug trials but not trials on things like yoga or cold plunges The cold plunge and fertility question: why temperature regulation matters when you're pregnant or trying to conceive How to actually research health advice: why ChatGPT makes up links and why Open Evidence is the tool you should be using instead This one is for the woman who's been following health advice without questioning where it came from, who wants to understand what her body actually needs, and who's ready to take a more personalized approach to her health. 💁‍♀️ SPONSORS → For ecomm founders: Omnisend is your email SMS automation partner that costs 35% less than the big names and returns $79 for every dollar spent → Use code FSC for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc 🔗 LINKS → Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin → Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/

Join the conversation: https://forms.gle/7F9vYtPkedAtwWu38 What if the exhaustion, anger, and the feeling like you're just surviving each day isn't just stress... it's your body trying to tell you something bigger? This is a conversation with Lisa Walker, a woman who's lived through chronic stress, grief, and burnout, and came out the other side with a radical approach to living her life. She's studied the science of stress, nervous system regulation, and what actually makes life worth living. And she's getting brutally honest about what happens to your body when you push through for too long. In this episode, Lisa opens up about the years she spent in survival mode, raising young kids, running a business, and managing a marriage affected by addiction that ended in death. She shares the phone call that changed everything, the year of yes that followed, and why she now believes that wellbeing literacy is the number one thing we're missing. Here's what we're exploring: Why so many women hit burnout in their mid 40s (and what chronic stress is actually doing to your body) The difference between emotional dysregulation and nervous system dysregulation (and how they're connected) How grief isn't just about losing a person, it's about grieving the life you thought you were going to have Why sitting in stillness might not be the answer for everyone (and what to do instead) The practical tools that actually work: journaling, meditation, breath work, creativity, and the power of a year of yes Why living with radical aliveness means being brave enough to feel it all This one is for the woman who's been running on empty, who's been told she's fine when she knows something deeper is going on, and who's ready to understand what her body is trying to tell her. 💁‍♀️ SPONSORS → For ecomm founders: Omnisend is your email SMS automation partner that costs 35% less than the big names and returns $79 for every dollar spent → Use code FSC for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc 🔗 LINKS → → Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin → Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/
